The Exeter Branch is a rail line in California's San Joaquin Valley that, at its fullest extent, ran from Famoso, California to Fresno, California. The line was constructed from 1888 to 1890, initially by the Stockton and Tulare Railroad Company; which was soon consolidated into the Southern Pacific.
